Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

A surprisingly clever book. I read it to my daughter, and we both enjoyed the tale from our different perspectives: she because the main character displayed strength in the face of fantastic challenges, as well as the pure whimsy of a topsy-turvy world, while I enjoyed the allusions to literature and politics that had completely escaped my notice when I read the work as a boy. If you only know the story from Disney, I highly recommended revisiting the original!

Written in 1865, Lewis Carroll has a breakthrough experience when writing Alice in Wonderland. When reading this fictional story, you feel that you are really in another world. There is no doubt in my mind that this book is one of the most interesting books I have ever read. The book starts out with a young girl named Alice. She is with her sisters at a pond. The all of a sudden a white rabbit, rushig around claiming he’s late, snatches Alice’s clock. When landed, she is in a completely different world. Down the line Alice meets a whole bunch of unique characters. I was found myself flipping the page to see who Alice would meet next. Then when Alice meets the Queen, she is sentenced to be beheaded. All of the characters come together in the Queen’s courtroom. At court when she is put in front of the King and Queen, after she grows and puts everyone out of place, it is decided what to do with a flip of a coin. This book ends out to be interesting, fun, and a good read. Alice ends up waking up and realizing that it was all a dream. I really recommend to all ages, to read this book.

This book is about Alice growing up, and how weird and confusing the adult world is. Also that the adult world is corrupted and angry and abusive. This was written durning the Victorian era, so it's more metaphorical.
